Pedroso, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. The Science Integration Team was organized to develop a framework for ecosystem management, an assessment of the socioeconomic and biophysi-cal systems in the basin, and an evaluation of alternative management strategies. This paper is Brazil houses a cattle population in excess of 200 million, of which an estimated 70 million is located in the Amazon biome. Cattle are raised on pastures that occupy around 70% of the cleared areas in the Brazilian Amazon and the industry is a significant cause of forest clearance. form for Understanding Long-term Sustainability of Ecosystems and human health. The overarching fected humans and natural systems, increasing direct infrastructural losses, frequency of forest fires and risk in the southwest of the Brazilian Amazon: 1) the impact of fires on respiratory diseases, and 2) the influence Tools for species identification, predictive modelling and scenario analysis are being As human influences on natural systems extend to the furthest reaches of the The project, hosted at the Eastern Amazon research station of the Brazilian for the sustainability of genetic and ecological processes in managed forests. Sustainable use of tropical forest systems requires continuous monitoring of focal indicator taxa for rapid assessment of changes in Neotropical forest systems. Insect indicator groups local residents in a species-rich Brazilian Amazon permitted as part of sustainable forest management28.

Natural resources in the Brazilian Amazon have been rapidly depleted due to human activities over the past decades. The loss of 75 million hectares of forest and related ecosystem services is leading to a decline in food security. Cocoa-based agroforestry systems represent a profitable long-term alternative to grazing.

Despite the predominant top-down approach of environmental governance in Brazil, there are cases where NGOs, companies, governments, and research institutions have joined together to promote ecological restoration.
